How CMXV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 10 | X |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 915 | CMXV |
CMXV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + X (10) + V (5) = 915.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCXV
Why isn't 915 written as DCCCCXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 915 is CMXV.
